Yes, I've done it myself before with PSA/DNA stickers. Haven't tried it on JSA stickers. I've done it on exhibit cards, index cards, and magazine pages. Have also used the microwave to heat them up before to heat up the adhesive LOL and also use a hammer to bust open slabbed cards if I want them out so I wouldn't call myself the most careful person. Have never messed up anything other than a Pete Rose BGS 6 rookie and that wasn't from breaking up the slab, it was from being impatient trying to get it out of that damn little plastic sleeve that Beckett puts them in, I couldn't find the scissors so I tried to use a ball point pen to push through and puncture it and to tear carefully but I missed
Your mileage may vary, just relaying my experiences. It's usually not hard getting the sticker off as long as your careful, the tricky part is getting the "sticky" stuff off after that and I don't have a good method for that. I use a heavy duty paper towel and water for that.
